We've not given up on him, Buy back clause is in place in this deal.

We were 5th already mate, This is the latest table including the city game.
Kudos though of running a background check and still getting it wrong

Yeah I mean basically you cannot lose points on your competitors when winning
It's not rocket science

unreal table atm though, genuinely can't call how it's gonna play out, I hope Chelsea lose a couple more in the next 6-7 games to make it more interesting

I interpreted the red arrow to mean you were going down a position? If not, RG has failed me and I accept no responsibility for the error

Fair enough BC

I think a Bournemouth goal will completely turn the tables. City might not be able to cope up with Dean Court's atmosphere as most teams have struggled here.

Obviously that would only be possible after a win if it was a goal difference situation. But since Liverpool are a point behind 4th you could have ..err.. deduced that it can't be the case

Aguero looks lie a deer facing headlights. My days.

Aguero ignoring Sane run

When you haven't won a decent trophy in 100 years

he's actually stealing an own goal

City second goal counted as an OG

Aguero robbed. There's a conspiracy to keep him benched and push new blood.

Chelsea
City
Liverpool
Tottenham

is going to be the top 4 at the end imo. Think City will close the gap by April to 4 points or less even.

Chelsea
Spurs
United
City

IMO

We really do deserve 6 CL spots though

Sorry can't see United getting into the top 4 you guys just have no quality it's such a shame.

Meh Chelsea still got this once CL starts for City they'll drop some points.

Let’s overview the reminder of the Premier League and see how it might shape-up come May. Chelsea wouldn’t be part of this as I expect them to collect 30-odd points and wrap-up the title with couple of games to spare.

Manchester City seemingly has a tough run. Among the fellow contenders; they have games against United, Liverpool (both at home), Arsenal and Chelsea. In addition; they have potential banana-skins against Sunderland, Middlesbrough (both away), Hull, Palace and Leicester.

Tottenham Hotspur, by contrast, only has Arsenal and United and both at home. That home game against Everton and the one at Turf Moor might be quite intriguing too. However, their main challenge would be to see-off struggling teams like Palace, Swansea, Leicester, WHU and Hull (all away).

Is this the season when Arsenal finally relinquishes the fourth-place trophy? In addition to games against fellow contenders Liverpool, Spurs (both away) and the Manchester clubs; they challenging fixtures against Stoke (away) and Everton. Finally, there are those fighting for their PL lives; Palace, Middlesbrough (both away), Leicester and Sunderland.

It’s still not clear if Liverpool has recovered from their January nightmare, sparsely placed games may prove their boon. While they have their own set of top-four six-pointers against Arsenal, Everton (both at home) and City; their true pedigree will be evident in home games against Burnley, Bournemouth, Palace and Middlesbrough.

Manchester United has done very well in recent months, a trend coinciding with benching Fellaini and starting Mkhitaryan. They haven’t had much luck against fellow contenders, so games against City, Arsenal, Spurs (all away), Everton and Chelsea don’t bode too well for them. Top that off with away games with Burnley, Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
